> It would have been unthinkable 20 years ago that we'd let total strangers drive us home from bars and use our houses like hotels.

Well, unfortunately it's still unthinkable in a lot of third-world countries nowadays, and it's precisely because of lack of trust.
So is this born from plain old moralfaggotry, or is there actually a commercial reason behind this policy?

They say sex sells, so I wonder if there actually is a reason to deny content that is “sexually gratifying”?

I find this to exist in many commercial endeavors and I wonder if there are actually sound financial reasons behind it, or whether it was similar to the strange culture shock tourists in the U.S.A. faced in the 70s, being denied a shared hotel room because they did not have the same surname. Or perhaps that too was actually for commercial reasons rather than being moral guardians?
I'm just agog that people are still doing dumb pattern matching for profanity filters. I just assumed that YEARS AGO people realized how dumb it is, but apparently: No.
Elon Musk tells Fortune he’s ‘super fired up’ about Biden
Same here. It also inspired me for my master thesis which is ‘Using Bitcoin For Fun and Profit’.
No but why would you use a product that is $7 or what ever times the number of employees (so let's say 200, so $1400 a month) when you can use a free one.
It'll be an arms race. DNS-based blackholes would give way to IP-by-IP firewall rules.

I remember when personal firewalls were mostly about blocking threats coming in through incoming connections. Now, I use mine more to block threats already on my network from exfiltrating through outgoing connections.

Glenn Greenwald's personal issues with (1) what he considers the appropriate relationship between journalism and "objectivity" and (2) his ability to maintain that relationship if he votes are not my problem.

There are dozens/hundreds/thousands of journalists around the world who are perfectly capable of reporting in a way that is useful, insightful, factual, while still voting in elections. I don't want journalists that I read to avoid the appearance of impropriety, I want them to tell me about the world in ways that I can't find out for myself. And I want them to vote.

I'm actually generally disgusted by meeting journalists who claim to not have opinions about the things they report on. I would hope that their opinions would be complex, because when you know enough about most things in the world, you realize that most things are pretty complicated and there generally aren't simple answers. But this BS of "I just try to report on what I find out, I don't really have an opinion" is, for me, a shorthand for "I'm too afraid of drawing conclusions about anything, which means I can't help my readers to do that either".
250k ARR might seem like a lot, but once you pay taxes, insurance, etc adding more than a handful of employees is going to dwindle what you're actually taking home. This is where having a degree counts and/or understanding how much work scaling is really going to take.

Incredible work, but also remember you are certainly not the norm. Be humble, acknowledge that your work has paid off and try to give back to any communities that got you to where you are today ;)
There's a better version of that in Ghost in the Shell SAC. You could have a cyber brain and connect to networks which could include websites, devices, other people, and even have a direct wired connection too.
In the decade immediately before the measles vaccine was distributed in the US, an average of 495 deaths per year and 1000 people severly disabled (1). In modern per-capita US terms, that would be like 866 deaths (mostly children) and 1750 disabled. While that's not much compared to COVID, it is about 1/6 as many deaths as polio in its worst year in the US, and that was a widely feared virus.

The Measles vaccine is also a proxy for other behavior. Minimally, in the US, folks that aren't innoculated for measles probably aren't innoculated for mumps or rubella (as MMR is one vaccine), or other important vaccines altogether.

I think parents need to recognize when their own ego and emotions are overriding sensible requests. It’s like corporal punishment: it’s more about the parents anger and emotions that it is about disciplining the child, but the collateral damage is you’re causing pain to a child who probably doesn’t understand the full picture of why mommy is slapping them. In my experience, parents are generally unable to remove their own ego from a situation, to where it becomes a task to force a child to bend to their will and show who’s boss.
Finland has 5.5M people and about 5 thousand homeless. Los Angeles county has 10.5M people and estimates are nearing 100,000 homeless. The situation is an order of magnitude different in Los Angeles, even by West Coast standards, and what works in Findland is unlikely to scale anywhere else, much less a place like the U.S. which has the bare minimum of a social safety net compared to the rest of the developed world.

When things are going well, you can stand by and observe. We're in a death spiral and need as many hands on the tiller as possible.
This would be a very good counterpoint if Google was the only company in the world. Since it isn't, I don't really understand the relevance.

> Isn't it done sometimes for helicopters? Hangars surrounding helipads?

No, helicopters can land in rather windy weather. They have lateral control authority, without having to change attitude, unlike quadcopters.

A bit of wind actually makes it safer for helicopters to land because it blows away the vortex ring https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBGZH8PzfTI

I'm confused, How exactly is Tesla advertising the car where you don't have to pay attention? It even explicitly tells you to keep your hands on the wheel and pay attention.

Check out Thor Heyerdahl and his Kon Tiki expedition. I believe that his theory was about religions and this pacific drift phenomena. There’s a very cool museum outside of Oslo.

I think that their findings have eventually been proven less meaningful than they thought, but still cool.

Just as capitalism is an amazing "technology" to maximize monetary value creation, organized religion is quite possibly the best technology ever created for achieving things like person-to-person engagement, building trusted communities, and creating a shared value systems. There are others (community groups, bowling leagues, etc) but none have been as durable and successful.

Like other technologies, it can be used for both good and evil and will be very effective doing so.

Just throwing this out there: I'm a believer in Christianity and love to connect w/ people about this kinda stuff. If anyone wants to talk more, email is in profile.
Great point. I feel things are changing. Thanks to CrossFit, Orange Theory, F45, etc. rowing is becoming more popular. 5 years ago there weren't many rowing studio like there are spinning classes. Now you have chains like RowHouse with 300 locations.
In case anyone cares, the Jabra Evolve2 85s arrived today. They definitely sound worse for music listening but I'll keep them because the USB Bluetooth dongle fixes the 8kHz problem, they work wired over USB and they cut out the event noise in the house. YMMV.

> That's not an improvement in privacy.

Okay, that's obviously not true from your own comment, you also say:

> Google will make it more difficult for others to track you

So if Google can still track me at the same level, but others can no longer track me, that IS an improvement in privacy. Not from Google, but from everyone else.

I get and agree with your point about how it's an advantage for Google because they can make their tracking harder to avoid and lock others out, but I find it hard to sell "This is not an improvement in privacy" as being unequivocally true.
This and the SYNflood attack are IMHO the best hacking papers I ever seen.

This is quite different from maintenance. You already pay upfront to have lower maintenance costs, so the gas/oil/maintenance savings argument do not apply here, I think.

You usually do not throw the car when it requires a major repair, but when the car is worth 2k with dead batteries to scrap and the replacement of the batteries costs 10k, while you can find a car that is OK to drive for 9k, it is considered uneconomical to repair. Because if you can just sell the car for 2k, pay 9k for another car, you are only losing 7k in the process. Replacing the battery costs 10k - the opportunity cost of replacing the battery is 3k.

This is why a car that requires an engine replacement (for an ICE car) is simply scrapped for parts instead of putting a new engine.
Why would you penalize a blog with 3 authors who publish 3x the articles of a personal blog? Why would you penalize higher volume at all? Trying to ascribe anything close to quality based on volume is like trying to grade developer productivity and/or skill by LOC.

I don't think Google would like it.

> I know 50 people who had Covid (yes someone out there will say their situation was bad - but the vast majority of those with Covid it was not bad) - but most said it was like the flu and they were tired for 2 weeks.

This is precisely the reason Covid is such a real menace: if it had more equal death rate impacts, I suspect we'd have seen far tighter restrictions to bring it under control, and far better adherence to public health advice.

Instead, Covid is one giant negative externality pushed to the margins.
And you can start holding a position instead of claiming omission until the cows come home.

Consumers using their collective economic power to push for change is not a new concept. I would suggest you take advantage of your willingness to buy books on Amazon if this is truly a baffling concept to you. Then read some of them.
What you're actually saying is: time for government intervention.

There's no planet on which Apple or Google will voluntarily give up the revenue stream produced by their respective app stores.

*If you're going to downvote me, at least provide some evidence that I'm off base. Google and Apple both refuse to allow other app stores and there's absolutely 0 recourse that doesn't involve the government stepping in. F-droid and the rest don't cover anything approaching "all devices".
That's fair, I'm just struggling to define what the prior American mythos actually was, and I think Jesus factors in there somewhere, in name. As a Catholic myself, I know well that actual religious belief isn't the main driver. Maybe I'm wrong and there never was an American mythos, but there's a palpable sense of change that isn't just outright racism.
Why is it baseless to challenge voter fraud concerns? If anything this will chill future concerns and people will not speak up. It sounds like you don’t want anyone to ever question a vote.

I am not the OP either but I also take notes.

>How can I so meticulously keep notes about everything I learn?

Very easy, because I know if I don't take notes I won't really learn it. I know I will forget that over time because I am trained in spaced repetition and I know if I don't review something I will loose it forever in the future.

If I spend hours reading an important book and don't review it, I will forget and waste those hours. Nothing less productive than that.

Most people forget most of what they learn and are not conscious about it.

>And how do you make sure you aren't spending more time on organizing/formatting/maintaining your notes and making it look nice instead of actually reading doing productive stuff?

I have it automated. I am an expert programmer so I spend very little time doing that. It is extremely productive because I know how to do things most people can't.

"The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources" Albert Einstein

I have never cared about making it look nice. I started using paper and an automatic feeder Fujitsu scanner. It was ugly at first but worked.

After years of improvement,it looks nice, beautiful if you want, but it was never the goal. The goal was automatic review, and powerful search.
So your assessment of the benefits of several hundred years of continuous political culture, along with a semi-continuous chain of protest movements, in "developed" countries is ... "meh" ??

Cynicism at this level does nothing but ensure that your worst take on government is what we actually get.
Although I agree strongly with author of linked post, it seems to me that the implicit assumption in the whole conversation is that a parent is only responsible for deciding on ones own behavior after a child misbehaves.

In my experience, the key to success in shaping a child's behavior, as in most things, is advance preparation and programming ones own behavior before problems occur.

Before problems start, involve children playfully in every aspect of family life, from chores to recreation, as soon as they can participate and to the extent they are able. Use praise and positive reinforcement for any contribution the children make to family business. Make them feel like active members of Team Family.

In my experience, small children want more than anything to feel like part of Team Family. If a child does something counterproductive or destructive, that is the time to take the author's advice and replace positive reinforcement with graciousness.

My experience is that children who have been treated to a constant flow of positive reinforcement will be more upset by even a temporary cessation of that flow that by any punishment, and will do anything to get back to membership in good standing of Team Family.

I find it astounding that scientists have found that positive reinforcement is the only reliable way to shape long-term behavior constructively, in both humans and animals, in experiments going back to the 1930's, but people refuse to believe the results, so scientists keep finding new ways to run the experiments, and get the same results.

I committed to using only positive reinforcement techniques with my own child, and I was delighted but not surprised by their effectiveness. My biggest surprise was when my child started using positive reinforcement on me. Which in my mind validates the linked post author's assertion that the biggest influence on children's behavior is the parent's own.
From my experience, you get to the Web Push API (or any related technology) when the user is not using your app, otherwise, notify your app directly.

The drawback is that such API is not available on Safari/iOS, if that's on your target audience, I'd try Firebase Notifications or something that works on all platforms.
A great many places do this and automatically refuse content based on arbitrary “bad words” regardless the context.

I remember being denied to post a forum post containing the phrase “tardive dyskinesia”, as it appears that it rejected anything with the string “tard” in it.

I'm not sure as to whom they think to be helping with that, but it's entirely possible that their advertisement revenue will actually suffer, if the string “tard” be found on their pages.
That makes sense. Maybe at some point we can use the camera on the screen to analyze the users form. Thanks for the feedback.

>> Dissent is only to be tolerated when it's politically convenient. Come on, man.

> It’s a bit worrying that total lies about a conspiracy between Dominion and (very much dead) Hugo Chavez to rig an election for Joe Biden is what gets classified as “dissent” these days.

I'm not sure if you can really even call this a "classification." It's more of a false equivalency, either made in bad faith or through some sloppy bit of emotional reasoning.

I'm seeing a lot of this kind of thing now (another similar example is https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25898393). It's like some people are experiencing certain generalized feelings, then applying charged words to what triggered those feelings without understanding either the words they used or the thing they're commenting on.
Core Web Vitals – how to measure and monitor them
>> It was designed to be the successor of the Open Pandora (an excellent device that predates smartphones) which led to numerous innovations in the ARM space (the creator of Box86, for example, comes from the Open Pandora community).

I remember the Pandora. I had pre-ordered one from the UK company. Its announcement coincided with a thing I had for small-form clamshells. I had a Saurus, a Viliv and a Nanonote. The Nanonote was open, both hardware and software, and I was expecting the same high quality development process from the Pandora as I had seen in the Nanonote team. I was so excited about Pandora!

Then of course...

In March 2013, the pre-order queue of the German OpenPandora GmbH company (owned by Michael Mrozek aka EvilDragon) was finally cleared.[18] The remaining pre-order queue of the UK OpenPandora Ltd. company (owned by Craig Rothwell) turned out to be significantly larger than originally reported, and the UK company has requested to be struck off.[19] This means that the original pre-orderers at the UK company are unlikely to ever get their unit from the UK company. Also because of this, buyers have lost their money. Although there is no legal connection between the two companies, the German OpenPandora GmbH company is trying to help those UK customers by offering them significant discounts (if they decide to buy a unit from the German company instead of waiting for the UK company) and by organizing community donations to get them peer-funded units.[20]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandora_(console)#History

... it got stuck in development hell. I bailed early and managed to get my pre-order money back, but I was probably one of the few. I guess, if we had all held on to our faith, we'd have gotten our devices right about now. Only ten years later!

Unfortunately, the same thing seems to be happening with the Pyra.

>> The DragonBox Pyra has had a difficult development process, with numerous hardware (and mold) related issues during its design. It was kind of supposed to be ready to come out a few years ago, but every time you’d think “hey, it’s just 2 months away now!” it would be delayed again and again – for yet completely valid reasons.
Or just a lack of advertising of explicit social need. Like, Aunt Betty who's 56 and lives with her cats doesn't need to be on the same network as half the planet and posting daily.

Facebook did try to do a "True Names" policy, but it was too little too late.

I think a gov't issued id for a permanent login would have (will?) be great. Ya want to be anonymous? Sure. Here's a pseudononimous id that only courts can track back to your real id. Want another one? Sure, that'll be 100$ a year (taxes that go directly to server costs). Want another one? Sure, every additional id costs 10x as much as the last.
Any kind of diversity that is seen as novel reduces trust, among other social consequences. (I note that the US has just elected it's second Papist president in 240ish years.)

Those consequences can be reduced; the question is, can they be reduced faster than forcing a new generation grow up under the diversity?
That sounds like an interesting system. I've been trying to get into using org more often, and so far i've figured out journaling and using org for creating nicely formatted PDFs via LaTeX. But I haven't had much luck getting into taking general notes about topics using org so far.

Do you follow any sort of structure inside of the individual topic notes, or is it more freestyle?
